CALIFORNIA, Mp, Sept. g, 1sSs.
In pcrus:ng the Entcrp,ip ot the last is
sue | noticed Il Letter from the pen ola wis
itnr" which, l presume, is an attempt 10
picture to the public this "thriving little
borough of California" As the Baltimore
HrnH puts IT, which i rather too rid
iculous tu pass 10y unhcc,led. Visitor states
he has no Curi' Sity Ia find out how this
place derived lis name, and that the only
noticeable changes here since his visit Of
three years ago are the conversion IF 4
school house into dwelling, change Of
pustmaStcrs and the closing uf Mr.. Cccil'S
store. ! think, unless Visitors brain and
lliNlt IA 'il~t iiitN III ~''llli way,
much more attraction from the changes and
Improvements at this place are too nuticca-
hlc and conspicuous to pass unnhscrNcd by
any one save blind person. Although Of
not a grand and ncrhaps imposing ma
turc aS the spacious residence and hcauii-
full surroundings OF PatuNcnt Beach, we
claim that there have been decidedly more
changes and Improvements here than any
other place i'll the county, McsSrS. Editors
not even excepting Your pretty little city,
In the last three years Mr.. Wise has built
quite IN ornamental addition To his house.
ais" 4 new stable, plank fence, &c. Be
sides the remodling of Mr.. CecirS former
dwelling, he has erected new house, which
L beautitied 10y an ornamental gable end
front and bay windows on each side.
c"mmodiouS combination oi hay
barn and stable, engine house, addition Of
lightning rods To- all the new buildings, new
public school, pustoflicc, and last but not
least, an almost Indispensable ice-houSc.
The above comprise the changes and inn
provcmentS, and all of them have taken
place in the last three years.
! am not certain that Visitor intended
any injustice in his description Of this place.
but my m"tto has ever been culngv where
it i due. While t. Visitor California may
appear diminutive 10 T. b. ana its ocru-

that the Baltimore har might readily spare

The new Visitors Ia our neighborhoOd

We notice that Mr.. WiSsert's family are
taking their departure from our midst. In
